Introduction The IPSi365 series of Intelligent Pure Sinewave Inverters are designed specifically for powering computers and other sensitive AC loads in rugged, mobile, off-grid environments. They produce pure sinewave AC power, identical to a conventional AC outlet. Internally, the IPSi365 is controlled by a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for optimal control and the most efficient operation possible.

Operation This unit is designed for simple operation. Before operating, the inverter must be properly installed and connected. See Installation and AC/DC Connections for more information. TO OPERATE THE INVERTER: 1. Move the Power Switch to ON to energize the circuitry. 2. The Invert LED and either the 50 Hz or 60 Hz LED will glow green indicating proper operation and the presence of AC power at the outputs. 3.
Operational Indicators There are eight LED indicators on the inverter’s top chassis which display the unit’s operating condition. The table below details their meaning: LEDs LOW VOLTAGE Meaning • Blinks red when the input voltage nears the minimum limit for operation. • Glows red when the input voltage is too low for operation. The Bypass LED will also glow red and the Invert LED will turn off. • The shutdown and start-up thresholds for the low voltage alarm can be adjusted using InverterWizard.
Installation MOUNTING Mount the unit in a DRY and WELL VENTILATED area. Allow at least one inch (2.54 cm) of clearance all around the unit for adequate cooling. CAUTION: DO NOT MOUNT THE UNIT ANYWHERE EXPLOSIVE GASES CAN ACCUMULATE. A slight arc may occur when the power leads are connected, and in the unlikely event of a failure, sparks may be generated inside the unit.
DC Input Connections DC INPUT POWER CONNECTION This unit is equipped with a pair of color-coded Phoenix VDFK6 terminal block connectors to serve as a DC Input Connection. Connect the DC input power here using AWG8/10mm2 wire. The wires should be stripped 0.4 inches/9mm and tightened securely to 16 inch-pounds/1.8 Newton Meters.
Off-line UPS (Optional) The Off-line UPS (Uninterruptible Power Source) option allows the inverter to function as a backup power source in the event of external AC power failure. NORMAL OPERATION AC Power Source • The AC power source supplies AC power to both the battery charger and the load (Running through the inverter’s off-line). • The battery charger supplies DC power to a battery, maintaining it at full charge. This battery is connected to the inverter’s DC Input Connection(s).
InverterWizard (Optional) InverterWizard is optional software that can be used to adjust the inverter’s operating settings. InverterWizard is free-to-download from www.analyticsystems.com or available by emailing sales@analyticsystems.com Using InverterWizard, you can: • • • • • • Set the inverter’s output frequency to either 50.00 or 60.00 Hz. Adjust the inverter’s output voltage over a ±10% range in 1 VAC intervals. Set the voltage thresholds for the low voltage alarms.
Troubleshooting This unit features eight LED indicators and an alarm buzzer to help diagnose any malfunctions. In the event of malfunction, the inverter will sound the buzzer to alert you prior to shutting down its output. You should immediately check which LEDs are glowing to determine the cause of the malfunction. LED / Issue Meaning LOW VOLTAGE LED is ON The input voltage is too low for normal operation. Fix: Check that the power source is appropriately rated for the application.
